Takamine TC135SC Pro Series Hybrid Crossover Classical-Electric Guitar with Case

Elite Crossover Performance: Takamine TC135SC 24-Fret Classical

The Takamine TC135SC is a masterclass in modern string instrument engineering. Available at Gigstore, this Japanese-made Pro Series instrument is built for the professional musician who needs to transition seamlessly between steel-string and nylon-string guitars. Whether you are performing a complex jazz solo in Dubai or recording a studio track in Abu Dhabi, the TC135SC provides a unique 24-fret fingerboard that offers a full two-octave range for elite musical expression.

Constructed with a solid spruce top and solid rosewood back, the TC135SC produces a brilliant, articulate voice with a wide dynamic range. Unlike traditional classical guitars, the "crossover" design features a narrower nut width and a radiused fingerboard, making it exceptionally comfortable for players used to electric or steel-string acoustic guitars.

The TC135SC is equipped with the Takamine CTP-3 CoolTube preamp, the industry's first and only onboard tube preamp for acoustic guitars. This dual-channel system utilizes a 12AU7 dual-triode vacuum tube to add a rich, organic harmonic texture to your amplified sound. With a built-in chromatic tuner, four-band EQ, and a variable "CoolTube" control, you can achieve a level of warmth and clarity that is unmatched by standard pickup systems.
